Series 12, Episode 14: The Coronation of Man- and Womanhood
Today’s Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Katarina of Sweden, daughter of the famed St. Bridget of Sweden, offers prayers for the nation of Nigeria on behalf of a listener there. We beg the intercession of St. Frumentius [I accidentally said “St. Fulgentius”, confusing the Apostle of the Ethiopians with the great hero of Ruspe in modern Tunisia – but the saint I was describing was the first preacher to bring the Faith south of the Sahara], and the many nameless martyr-saints Nigeria has collected over the years, for the total conversion of the country, the defeat of the Saracen who kidnap and corrupt their children, and the purification of the darkened hearts of any and all pagans who continue to exercise power over Christians.
Today’s reflection considers the Crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the model she provides as a mother to all women as well as the role she plays as Patron Saint of all Christians, pointing the way to the ideal manhood, whose core vocation is authority, and the ideal womanhood, whose core vocation is maternity.
God love you!
